The inn ovations(创新)XXXX opment during World War II and afterwards were(36)_____ to the prosperity of the nation in the second half of the 20th century. Those innovations, upon which virtually all aspects of(37)_ ____ society now depend, were possible because the United States then(38)_____ the world in mathematic s and science education. Today, however, despite increasing demand for workers with strong skills in mat hematics and science, the(39)_____ of degrees awarded in science, math, and engineering are decreasing.The deeling in degree production in what are called the STEM disciplines(science, technology, engine ering, and math.)seems to be(40)_____related to the comparatively weak performance by U.S. schoolchildr en on international assessments of math and science. Many students entering college have weak skills in mathematics.

He was pale and disfigured and looked sick to death, which he probably was: obesity(肥胖的)leads to many nasty ways of dying. Looking around the carriage, I saw quite a few people like him, including a coupl e of fatty children with swollen checks pressing against their eyes. These people are part of what is with out exaggeration an epidemic(流行病)of obesity.[B] But it is quite unnecessary: there is a simple idea- far from new- that could spare millions of su ch people a lifetime of chronic(长期的)ill health, and at the same time save the National Health Service (NHS)at least £14 billion a year in England and Wales. There would, you might think, be considerable public interest in it. This simple idea is that sugar is as good- or as bad- as poison and should be avoid ed. It is pure, white and deadly, as Professor John Yudkin described it 40 years ago in a revolutionary b ook of that name. The subtitle was How Sugar Is Killing Us.[C] In its countless hidden forms, in ready meals, junk food and sweet drinks, sugar leads to addicti on(瘾), to hormonal upsets to the appetite, to metabolic(新陈代谢的)malfunctions and obesity and from th ere to type 2 diabetes(糖尿病)and its many horrible complication. If people really grasped that, they woul d try to kick the habit, particularly as Britain is the ― fat man of Europe‖ . They might even feel driven to support government measures to prevent people from consuming this deadly stuff. Yet so far this idea has met little but resistance.[D] It is not difficult to imagine the vested interests(既得利益集团)lined up against any sugar control - all the food and drink manufacturers, processors, promoters and retailers who make such easy pickings out of the magic powers of sugar. Then there are the liberals, with whom I would normally side, who pr otest that government regulation would be yet another instance of interference in our lives.[E]That is true, but people should realize that you cannot have a welfare state without a nanny state (保姆国家), to some degree. If we are all to be responsible for one another’s health insurance, through so cialized medicine, then we are all closely involved in one another’s health, including everyone’s eating an d drinking. That has already been admitted, finally, with smoking. But it has yet to be admitted with overeating, even though one in four adults in this country is obese and that number is predicted to double b y the year 2050.Quite apart from anything else, obesity will cripple the NHS.[F]Recently, though, there have been signs that the medical establishment is trying to sound the alar m. Last month the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges(AMRC)published a report saying that obesity is t he greatest public health issue affecting the UK and urging government to do something.[G]The report offers 10 recommendations, of which the first is imposing a tax of 20 percent on suga ry drinks for at least a year, on top of the existing 20 percent value-added tax. That at least would be a n excellent start. The amounts of sugar in soft drinks are horrifying, and turn straight to fat. As Professor Terence Stephenson, head of the AMRC, has said, sugary soft drinks are ―the ultimate bad food. You ar e just consuming neat sugar. Your body didn’t evolve to handle this kind of thing.‖[H]Precisely. The risks of eating too much fat or salt(which are very different)pale into insignificant compared with the harm done by sugar. And it is everywhere.[I]It is difficult to buy anything in a supermarket, other than plain, unprepared meat, fish or vegetabl es, that doesn’t have a large amount of sugar in it. This has come about because the prevailing scientific views of the 1960s and 1970s ignored the evidence about sugar, and instead saw fat as the really seriou s risk, both to the heart and other organs, as well as the cause of obesity.[J]The fashion was to avoid fat. But finding that food with much of its fat removed is not very app etizing, food producers turned to sugar as a magic alternative flavor enhancer, often in the forms of syrup s(糖浆)that had recently been developed from corn, and put it generously into most prepared foods and so ft drinks.[K]This stuff is not just fattening. It is addictive. It interferes with the body’s metabolism, possibly v ia the activity of an appetite-controlling hormone. There’s plenty of evidence for this, for those who will accept the truth.[L]Theoretically, people ought to make ―healthy choices‖ and avoid overeating. But sugar additives ar e not easy to identify and are hard to avoid. So the snacking, over-drinking and over eating that makes p eople fat is not really their own fault: obesity is in large part something that is being done to them. It s hould be stopped, or rather the government should stop it.[M]Going round my local supermarket, I am constantly astonished that it is still legal to sell all the poisons stacked high on the shelves. The problem is that they are worse than useless. They are poisonous. They are known to be addictive. They are known to make people obese. And giving small children swe et drinks or bottles of fake juice all day long is nothing less than child abuse.[N]Clearly, the sale of such stuff ought to be illegal. I hate to think of yet more government regulati on. But a bit of tax on sweet soda and a little more health education, a bit of cooking in schools and b anning vending machines(自动售货机)here and there —as suggested try the AMRC report —is not goin g to achieve very much. Labelling is quite inadequate. What is needed is legislation banning high levels of sugary syrups used in foods and drinks.[O]In June 2012, the then minister for public health said the government was not scared of the food industry and had not ruled out legislation, because of the costs of obesity to the NHS. However, nothing has happened yet. Why not have another Jammie Dodger biscuit and forget about it.46、Avoiding over-consumption of sugar can improve people’s health as well as save medical expenses.47、Laws should be passed to make it illegal to produce overly sweet foods or drinks.48、Giving small children sweet juices to drink all the time is equal to child abuse.59、Looking around, the author found obesity quite widespread.50、The number of obese people is expected to increase quickly in the next few decades.51、If people really understood the horrible consequences of sugary foods and drinks, they would support government measures against sugar consumption.52、It would be a very good beginning wo improve an additional tax on sugary drinks.53、The government has not yet taken any action to regulate sugar consumption although it indicated its i ntention to do so some time ago.54、Sugar is far more harmful to health than fat and salt.55、Consumers of sweet foods are not really to blame because they cannot tell what food is sugary.Section CThe rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history, comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people w orldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each o ther instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere. But the Internet’s tremen dous impacts has only just begun.―Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political trans formations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,‖ Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book. The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of the Inter net revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one major shortcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Intern et businesses in these weeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes —and more importantly predicts —how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities, on e physical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that ―technology is neutral, but people aren’t.‖ By using this con cept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotom y(对立观点)that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimatel y be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realistic about t he risks and d angers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance(监视).56、In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and the tele graph?A.It transforms human history.B.It facilitates daily communication.C.It is adopted by all humanity.D.It revolutionizes people's thinking.57、How do Schmidt and Cohen describe the effects of the Internet?A.They are immeasurable.B.They are worldwide.C.They are unpredictable.D.They are contaminating.58、In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate?A.It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.B.It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.C.It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses.D.It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.59、What will the future be like when everybody gets online?A.People will be living in two different realities.B.People will have equal access to information.C.People don’t have to travel to see the world.D.People don’t have to communicate face to face.60、What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age?A.They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet.B.They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution.C.They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world.D.They don’t take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet.In 1950, a young man would have found it much easier than it is today to get and keep a job in th e auto industry. And in that year the average autoworker could meet monthly mortgage(抵押贷款)payment s on an average home with just 13.4 percent of his take-home pay. Today a similar mortgage would clai m more than twice that share of his monthly eamings.Other members of the autoworker’s family, however might be less inclined to tried the present for th e past. His retired parents would certainly have had less economic security back then. Through-out much of the 1960s,more than a quarter of men and women and women age 65 and older lived below the pover ty level, compared to less than 10 percent in 2010.In most stales, his wife could not have taken out a loan or a card in her own name. In 42 states, a homemaker had no legal claim on the earnings of her husband. And nowhere did a wife have legal prot ection against family violence.Most black workers would not want to return to a time when, on average they earned 40 percent les s than their white counterparts(职位相当的人),white racially restrictive agreements largely prevented them f rom buying into the suburban neighborhoods being built for white working –class families.Today, new problems have emerged in the process of resolving old ones, but the solution is not to go ba ck to the past. Some people may long for an era when divorce was still hard to come by. The spread of no -fault divorce has reduced the bargaining power of whichever spouse is more interested in continuing the relationship. And the breakup of such marriages has caused pain for many families.The growing diversity of family life comes with new possibilities as well as new challenges. Accordi ng to a recent poll, more than 80 percent of Americans believe that their current family is as close as th e one in which they grew up, or closer. Finding ways to imaginary golden age.61、What do we learn about American autoworkers in 1950?A.They had less job security than they do today.B.It was not too difficult for them to buy a house.C.Their earnings were worth twice as much as today.D.They were better off than workers in other industries.62、What does the author about retired people today?A.They invariably long to return to the golden past.B.They do not depend so much on social welfare.C.They feel more secure economically than in the past.D.They are usually unwilling to live with their children.63、Why couldn’t black workers buy a ho use in a whitc suburban neighborhood ?A.They lacked the means of transportation.B.They were subjected to racial inequality.C.They were afraid to break the law.D.They were too poor to afford it.64、What is the result of no-fault divorce ?A.Divorce is easier to obtain.B.Domestic violence is lessened.C.It causes little pain to either side.D.It contributes to social unrest.65 、What does the author suggest society do?A.Get prepared to face any new challenges.B.Try to better the current social security.C.Narrow the gap between blacks and whites.D.Improve the lives of families with problemsPart IV Translation翻译题一:大熊猫是一种温顺的动物,长着独特的黑白皮毛。

然而,当我的一个大学同学汤姆竭尽全力鼓励我的时候,我发现自己渐渐地有所改变。
我非常感激他对我的帮助。
以前我的英语不好,然而每当我对老师的讲解感到迷惑不解时,汤姆总是用清晰明了的方式给我解释。

Gradually, I found English not so difficult and made progress day by day. ⑤ In addition, it was Tom who kept guiding me how to live through all kinds of setbacks in life. ⑥ I’l l never forget the very day when I failed my speech contest and I was overwhelmed and ashamed.⑦ Tom told me that nobody can defeat a person if he is determined to stand upto every failure. ⑧With his encouragement, I regained confidence, realizing that optimism was always the key to success. ⑨ Thanks to Tom, I eventually learned the significance ofself-confidence and optimism. They not only serve as indispensable characteristics of personality but also will benefit people all his life.① ②通过描述那个曾经缺乏自信而且悲观的 “我”渐渐地有所改变引出文章主题——对 “我”影响最大的大学同学,他竭尽全力鼓励“我”。

Also,no individual could accomplish the challenging task all by herself or himself, so joint efforts have played a significant role in winning the competition.Team spirit and co-operation has been improved a lot and I believe this is more precious than winning or losing.To be brief,we should participate in more campus activities,not only can we get a better understanding of what we have learnt before,but also make new friends and discover our interests.附:作文评分标准本题满分为15分,成绩分为六个档次:13-15分、10-12分、7-9分、4-6分、1-3分和0分。

2014年12月四级写作真题解析作者:许密杉来源:《新东方英语》2015年第03期在2014年12月的大学英语四级考试中,写作部分再次延续了2014年6月的说明文形式,采用了反常规的考法,没有考查传统议论文和图表/图画型作文。
因此,那些满心期待会考图画作文的考生可能有些措手不及。
不过,此次考试的难度毕竟不算大,所以应该不会有太多问题。
在本文中,笔者将对2014年12月20日的四级写作真题作详细的点评。
真题回顾此次写作考试同往常一样,依然采取了“多题多卷”的形式,分别考查了三道作文题,下面来回顾一下题目。
题目一:Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay about a course that has impressed you most in college. You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.题目二:Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay about a campus activity that has benefited you most in college. You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.题目三:Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay about a classmate of yours who has influenced you most in college. You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.此次写作考试考查的话题如下:①大学里给你印象最深的一门课;②大学里使你受益最多的一项校园活动;③大学里对你影响最深的一位同学。
这些都是考生非常熟悉的话题,写作难度相对较低,考生可以采取叙议结合的写作方式。
命题特点此次四级写作考试具有以下四个命题特点。
1. 反押题纵观近几年的真题题目,四级写作往往侧重考查“环境”“文化”“网络”等热点话题。
结合2014年的时事变化和历年四级写作的命题思路,很多考生和老师都容易把押题方向定为“环境污染”“两代关系”等。
然而,此次四级写作依旧坚持反押题原则,既没有考查传统议论文,也没有考查图表/图画作文,反而延续了2014年6月的命题思路,题目非常“接地气”,让不少考生大跌眼镜。
2014年6月四级写作的题目如下:Suppose a foreign friend of yours is going to visit your hometown/your campus/China, what is the most interesting place you would like to take him/her to see and why?(假设有位外国朋友来你的家乡/学校/中国,你想带他/她去参观哪个最好玩的地方?为什么?)类似的话题在2001年和2004年的四级写作考试中都出现过。
由于每个人的家乡、校园和想带他人去参观的地方都不一样,所以考生可以选择自己最熟悉的内容去描述。
此次四级写作的题目也是如此,考查的话题都与校园生活有关,考生可选取最熟悉的内容来写。
2. 易审题在以往的考试中,无论是写传统型的议论文还是开放式的图画/图表作文,都经常有考生因为跑题而失分。
然而,此次四级考试的作文题目很开放,也很清晰,并没有侧重考查考生的审题能力,所以不太存在跑题、偏题的可能性,审题相对比较容易,考生写起来也都有话可说。
例如,2012年12月的四级写作题目为“Education Pays”,考核形式为图表作文。
不少考生在作答时就没能准确理解题目的含义,误以为pays就是“花费”的意思,进而断定整篇文章的立意为“教育花费”。
而实际上这个题目的意思是“教育是值得的”,pays在此处意为“有利,有好处,值得”。
尽管这道题目中的单词都是考生认识的单词,没有超纲,也没有出现偏词、怪词或者考生不熟悉的固定搭配,但依然有很多考生没能审清题目,丢了好多分。
好在2014年12月的写作题目没有这么强的迷惑性,甚至比往年的题目都更简单易懂。
3. 重视语言当写作主题十分明确,大多数考生都不会跑题时,这样的写作题目往往更侧重考查考生的语言水平,考生要比拼的是基础和实力。
一篇文章要想不“假大空”,就无需使用太多华丽而空洞的语言或口号,而要灵活运用基础词汇和固定表达,写出语法正确、语言流畅的文章。
对于这样的写作题目,内容不及语言重要,但这只是相对的。
考生如果一味瞎写主体内容肯定会影响分数。
因此,考生平时应尽量多加练习,以期在考场上也能迅速想到一些合理的理由和贴切的例证,然后在完成主体内容的基础上完善语言。
当然,在写作中,考生要敢于表达自己的思想,不能一味地为了保证语言正确而裹足不前,只写一些停留在小学生水平的文字。
4. 综合考查此类话题型作文其实是在综合考查考生的写作能力,要求考生在写作中完美结合描述、记叙与议论。
在围绕话题进行说明时,考生既需要举例、描述,又需要添加评论和议论,这对考生的语言能力和叙事逻辑都提出了更高的要求。
例如,题目三(a classmate of yours who hasinfluenced you most)的写作要点主要包括能给考生带去深远影响的那位同学的事迹、经历以及令考生感到振奋的故事等,这些都需要考生描写和叙述出来。
虽然四级写作并没有在题目要求中注明一定要举例子,但这其实是题目的隐性要求,需要考生举例子、讲故事。
以题目一(a course that has impressed you most)为例,考生可以在第一段先写出课程名称,比如自己印象最深的一门课是英语课或公共演说课。
然后,考生要描述具体的课程内容、授课教师及授课形式等。
最后,考生要在最后一段论述这门课能对自己产生怎样的影响,以及未来自己要如何对待这门课程等。
写作思路针对此次四级考试的三道题目,考生均可以采用“三段式”的写作结构:第一段引入话题;第二段结合个人经历进行描述和记叙;第三段对全文内容进行总结、提炼和升华。
大部分考生平时对话题型作文的练习偏少,由于此类作文的描述对象较为灵活,可用模板不多,所以更能体现出考生真实的书面表达水平。
此次考试,考生可以遵循如下的写作思路。
首先,考生一定要抓住题目中的关键词“一个”(即“一门”“一项”“一位”),在开头点明自己印象最深的一门课是什么,受益最多的一项校园活动是什么,或是对自己影响最深的一位同学是谁,再对其进行详细的描写和叙述。
然后,考生可以结合个人经历详细描述那门课/那项校园活动/那位同学的亮点,即那门课为何能给自己留下深刻的印象,那项校园活动能给自己带来哪些益处,以及那位同学都有哪些性格特点、优势或长处,为何能对自己影响最深等。
最后,考生可以在结尾段加入自己的收获或反思等。
以题目二(a campus activity that has benefited you most)为例,考生可以在开头点明大学期间让自己获益最多的校园活动是辩论赛。
在第二段,考生可以简要描述辩论赛的活动内容及益处。
例如,通过参加辩论赛,考生不仅能增强自信,锻炼口才,还能结交到很多朋友,一举多得。
最后,考生可以在第三段写一下未来自己会如何通过类似的校园活动来提升自我,让自己变得更有竞争力,并让自己的大学生活变得更丰富充实、更有意义。
备考小贴士此次四级写作考试技巧和能力并重。
考生已普遍适应了写“总—分—总”式的议论文,而且大部分考生对写作模板的依赖性非常强,几乎通篇的长句都是用模板句拼凑出来的。
然而,2014年的两次考试都反常规地考查了大部分考生都很陌生的说明文写作,这其实是对基础英语写作能力的一种回归。
有的考生因为看过或背过议论文的范文就直接照搬,结果导致失分。
笔者建议考生在考场上先构思好文章的整体结构,然后再动笔去写。
但是构思不等于要打草稿,因为考试时间毕竟有限,打完草稿再誊写很可能来不及。
考生只需花3~5分钟构思即可,大致想一下每段要写什么,然后记几个关键词来提示自己(可以记在准考证空白处)。
在接下来的20多分钟里,考生可以根据这几个关键词的提示来扩展写作内容。
参考范文下面是两篇示范例文,供各位考生参考。
因篇幅有限,仅提供题目一和题目三的范文。
题目一(a course that has impressed you most in college)There are many courses in each college year, but the course which has impressed me most in college is Advanced English Audio-Visual & Speaking. The reasons why I like this course are as follows.The first reason is that I have learnt a lot from this course. My listening ability, speaking ability and translation ability have all improved greatly after taking this course. The second reason is that I like the teacher of this course, Mr. Qin, very much. He is a charming gentleman with great patience. His oral English is perfect, sounding like an American speaker. He is very strict but we still extremely like him.Just as the proverb goes,“A strict teacher trains an outstanding student.” Thanks to Mr. Qin’s guidance and teachings in this course, all my classmates have made great progress in learning English.题目三(a classmate of yours who has influenced you most in college)I have made so many friends in my college life. They have exerted enormous influence on my life. However, one of the most impressive of my friends is my roommate, Li Ming.In the class meeting on the first day of school, Li Ming did not impress us at all. We started to notice him because he was always late for class. We were impressed by his apparent laziness. I came to know him and his situation because we were roommates and spent much time together: His mother was seriously ill and had been bedridden for a long time. His father had mercilessly left him and his mother. Hence, it was him that shouldered the heavy burden of taking care of his sick mother and supporting the whole family. Finally, despite great pressure, he balanced his life and study perfectly: He was no longer late, he took good care of his mother and even won the scholarship several years in a row.The experience of Li Ming is one of the most convincing cases of the power of persistence and will. He left a deep impression and imposed a durable influence on me. Indeed, a friend such as him can be regarded as an asset to my life.。
